Apple Leather iPhone Sleeve (in hand)

This is a question for those of you who already have the MagSafe sleeve.

I have a Samsung wireless charging stand which I use with my iPhone 12 Mini (picture attached). It works well. I would like to get a MagSafe sleeve for the 12 Mini. My question is, is the back part of the sleeve stiff enough that is would hold up the sleeve+phone standing on its bottom edge if placed on the charger at that angle? Or would the bottom part of the sleeve that protrudes below the phone curl up if placed on the bottom edge?

The bottom lip of the case will probably curl up slightly, as it is not rigid.

I just received my Pink Citrus sleeve. Looks to be the same color as my Solo loop. Sometimes, there can be a small variation between accessories. The sleeve appears to be a little more snug than the saddle brown. It took a lot more firm downward shakes to get the phone to start to slowly slide out of the case.

Just picked up the Baltic blue leather sleeve for my 12 Pro Max. Some impressions:

+ Premium leather quality and feels soft and supple in the hands. I would say this is the same type of leather used in the leather wallet. The leather case is definitely not made of the same material or leather.
+ Phone feels secure in the sleeve and you have to shake it really hard a few times for it to start sliding out
+ Sliding the phone in and out is not that difficult and should get better over time as the leather loosens
+ Matching clock colour and background is nicely done
+ Using the phone caseless feels great and lets me appreciate the design more.
+ Slot for cards will take 2 cards comfortably and a very tight squeeze for 3 cards

- Sleeve is very wide and makes the 12 Pro Max feel even bigger. The overall width of the sleeve is 95mm.
- No interaction with the cut out window other than tapping it to see the clock or to see the charge percentage. I do not understand why there is a speaker cut out if Apple’s intention is not to let you interact with the phone or take a phone call. They could’ve just made the sleeve completely enclosed with no cutouts. There must be a software update coming.
- Have not taken out the lanyard from the packaging. Seems to be more suited for ladies who like to carry their phone with the lanyard around their wrist.

Overall it’s a very high quality sleeve that protects the phone. If you are those who are on the phone 24/7 (including when you’re walking on the sidewalk) then this sleeve is not for you.

I think it’s for those who like to put away their phone and want to disconnect from it when you’re working or in the office or going out for dinner and need to focus on the person in front of you.

I will be keeping this until after Xmas and see if it suits my needs.

How firm does the wallet stay attached to the sleeve?

A request for those of you who have the MagSafe sleeve for the 12 MINI.

Would you please tell me the dimensions of the sleeve - height and width? (Don’t bother measuring the thickness).

Thanks!

Just curious; what makes it a "ladies thing" to carry the phone with a lanyard around the wrist? In highly populated cities there are muggers ready to snatch your phone all the time, why is it "more suited for ladies"?

I got one for the Mini but as I suspected, it's just a bit too wide for my liking. Here is a comparison of what it looks like vs. the Sena slim sleeve (which holds a card as well). Please note, the Slim sleeve pictured here is really for an iPhone8/SE family but I am using it for the Mini since it fits.

Does a light tap on the sleeve wake up the phone to display the time (like it does when you directly tap on the screen)? Or does it require a much firmer tap to display the time?
